This patch set goes on top of Ben's set [1] for github issue 105 [2]. The first patch implements the remark I had on patch 2 on Ben's set. Patch 2-4 add map reload logic for the case when update_pathvec_from_dm() detects an inconsistency: in this case, the map is now reloaded before the checkers are actually started. If the inconsistency can't be cleared, another attempt will be made when the checkers have finished. Patch 5 ff. reshuffle the code in checkerloop(). There is now one function, checker_finished(), that takes all actions that need to be done with the vecs lock taken after the checkers have finished. checkerloop() enters this function immediately when the checkers have finished, without dropping and re-acquiring the vecs lock. The map reload logic is completely handled in this function. The various _tick() functions don't loop over mpvec any more; they are now just called for a single mpp, and they simply return true if a map reload is required. The actual reload action differs: if missing_uev_wait_tick() requests a reload, it needs to be a full update_map() (which calls adopt_paths()), whereas in the other cases, reload_and_sync_map() is sufficient. The last patch changes the reload action for the ghost delay tick. Reviews & comments welcome.
